When it came down to who he would rather face — Real Madrid or Manchester City — Kompany did not have a preference.
He swears. Seriously. “I always try to separate things.
I always wish the best for Man City, it’s normal. I always want them to win anytime it’s nothing to do with me. In this case I wasn’t thinking a lot about who we’re going to face.
I was only thinking about Atalanta and reaching the next round. Now it’s Real Madrid. It’s a fantastic fixture for the club, the players and the fans,” Kompany said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ).
